I have had a quick look over your webtoon just to get an idea

I have to say you have made a massive improvement compared to the initial episodes, the new pages look great, could see the improvements since the pages you posted in May of this year, characters feel way more dimensional, lineart works well, and expressions are done well

Most of the issues I had with the first 10 episodes are pretty much cleared now, other than the completely white panel episodes, those felt a bit desperate

If there is a place where you could improve that isn't about changing your art style, you could experiment more with perspective

Other than that this is a style I don't see very often, especially in webtoon spaces, and have to say it was quite a refreshing sight

I have subscribed to your webcomic, now I just have to actually read the stuff as I just glanced over everything cuz your question was about artstyle

Thank you for the feedback and subscribing! I was thinking about the earlier episodes... my growth seems healthy in comparison to the amount of pages i've posted so far. Is the art hard to get through in the beginning? I was considering once this arc ends, to update the pages during a hiatus. Advice online seems split on trucking on or going back.

For me it wasn't difficult to get through, it just felt noticeably stiff

For the rest of people, it might be a turn off if they aren't captured by the story itself

Many great works started off with lesser quality than yours but were able to persevere simply cuz the story captured an audience

And I did get to read it properly in the time before my comment and your reply, it's a pretty decent hook but unfortunately I do feel like there is just something missing? I would say maybe the pacing as stuff happens pretty quick in my personal opinion

But I also don't think you have to push yourself to redo the initial pages unless it's something you really want to do

This is my first comic, so I'm still learning a ton. I'm sure I'll figure out that secret sauce as I keep on my merry way. thank you for the feedback!
